Now love yourself and enjoy this one ...

It's a good way to use up leftover ingredients and create a snack. It's not just me who collects small amounts of random items in the back of her pantry, like half-used sauce bottles in her fridge. You can easily let them get out of hand and waste a lot of food if you don't keep track of it. Let's make some trail mix and do some Spring Cleaning instead of letting these ingredients go to waste in the pantry. Reduce waste while making a tasty snack? Yes, please.

What is Trail Mix made of?

The trail mix, also known as scroggin, is a simple mix of fruits, nuts, seeds and other ingredients. This simple snack mix is a great way to get protein, carbohydrates, and fat in every bite. It also has a lot of color and texture, which makes it fun to eat. This is an easy snack that you can eat while on the move (no utensils or heating required). It provides energy for activities like hiking where you do not want to be overly full.

Everybody makes their own trail mix, but you can find the classic combination in most stores. It usually includes peanuts, raisins and M&Ms. Sometimes, a second nut is added, such as almonds or cashews. Trail mix is so flexible because you can make it with any combination of nuts, raisins, M&Ms, or other ingredients.

Other Ingredients in Trail Mix

Here are some trail mix ingredients to get you started.

  • Nuts Peanuts, Almonds, Cashews Pecans Walnuts Coconut, Hazelnuts Pistachios Mixed Nuts
  • Seeds: sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • Dried Fruit: raisins, cranberries, banana chips, apple, pineapple, ginger, dates, apricots, freeze-dried strawberries
  • Chocolate: carob chips (M&Ms), white chocolate chips (M&Ms), butterscotch chip
  • Snacks & Candy : pretzels & granola; popcorn, Chex and Cheeze-its; chocolate covered raisins or yogurt-covered raisins, marshmallows & licorice; rice crackers & Reece's Pieces

Making Trail Mix Budget Friendly

It can be costly to buy nuts and dried fruits, so I use the random ingredients I have in my pantry. You can tweak your ratios to reduce the cost of the trail mix. Bulk up your trail mixture with cheaper ingredients, and then add a few of the more expensive ones.

Low Cost: peanuts, cereal, raisins, pretzels, marshmallows, coconut, popcorn

Expensive: Most nuts, pumpkin seeds and dried fruits (other than raisins), as well as brand-name snacks (M&Ms or Cheeze-its).

Trail Mix Flavor Combinations

Here's a basic recipe for trail mix. If you need some inspiration to make your own mix, check out these fun combinations that I have made in the past.

  • Fruit & Nut Trail mix: almonds, cashews and raisins.
  • Tropical Trail Mix: banana chips, cashews, coconut, dried pineapple, dried cranberries
  • S’mores Trail Mix: Peanuts, mini marshmallows (cracked into pieces), chocolate chips, golden grahams cereal, or graham crackers.
  • Snack Trail Mix: popcorn, pretzels, chocolate chips, peanuts

How to store trail mix

Trail mix is made from dry ingredients that are shelf stable. You can store it in an airtight container, away from moisture and sunlight. Keep the trail mixture in a clear container, such as a zip-top baggie or glass jar, to make it easy to see. Divide it up into single-serving containers to have snacks on hand for the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to eat raw garlic?

Raw garlic contains potent compounds that could cause stomach upset. Garlic should always be cooked before eating.

Garlic is one of the oldest known medicinal plants. It has been used since ancient times to treat various ailments.

Today, garlic is still commonly used for treating colds, coughs, and other respiratory infections. In addition, garlic can increase blood circulation, boost immunity, protect against cancer, lower cholesterol levels, prevent heart disease, and reduce stress.

Do not ingest large amounts of raw garlic to avoid possible health problems. It does not harm you if you consume small amounts regularly, however. This is especially true with young children who might accidentally swallow some.


Which spices from the kitchen are used to cure diseases?

There are more than 4000 medicinal plants that are widely distributed throughout the world. Some of these plants contain active compounds that may help treat various ailments.

In India alone, there are more than 1000 species of herbs that are used for medical purposes. This includes Ayurvedic medicine, Unani medicine, Siddha medicine, Homeopathic medicine, and Chinese medicine.

The most common ingredient found in these medicines is ginger. Ginger contains volatile oils that give it its aromatic flavor. These oils contain anti-inflammatory properties that make them useful against arthritis, fever, vomiting, and indigestion.

Ginger also helps relieve nausea and stomach cramps caused due to pregnancy. Pregnant women often consume ginger tea to reduce morning sickness. Ginger is also commonly used for cough and cold relief.

Another spice that is known to have medicinal value is turmeric. Turmeric contains curcumin which has been shown to inhibit tumor growth. This makes it an effective cancer treatment.

Turmeric is also considered to be very beneficial for joint health. It relieves inflammation and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis. It is also believed to prevent osteoporosis.

Garlic, too, is another herb that is extensively used in traditional medicine. Its healing qualities include treating infections, asthma, heart disease, and diabetes and even reducing cholesterol levels. Garlic oil is also used to treat wounds and insect bites.

Garlic is a natural antibiotic that fights bacteria and viruses. The antibacterial property makes it ideal for treating respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

It is also helpful in preventing urinary tract infections.

Other spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, black pepper, ginger, cayenne, mustard seeds, fennel, and coriander are also used to treat different illnesses.


What is the difference between basil and oregano?

Both of these herbs belong to the Lamiaceae family. They share similar flavors, but the differences are obvious.

Oregano is more pungent than basil. It also adds an extra layer of flavor to foods.

Basil leaves are smaller than oregano leaves. They are also softer and less aromatic.

The two herbs are often used interchangeably. Although they are quite similar, each has its distinctive qualities.


Is eating raw basil good for you?

I'm sure everyone knows that fresh herbs are great for cooking but did you know that you could eat them too? Raw, uncooked herbs are packed full of nutrients and vitamins that we normally have to cook.

They contain more antioxidants than any fruit or vegetable. And they also help our immune systems stay strong and healthy.

The best way to enjoy these delicious little green gems is to eat them raw from the garden. But there's nothing wrong with enjoying them cooked, either. They taste even better when sautéed in olive oil and served alongside pasta or rice.

There are lots of ways to incorporate raw herbs into recipes. Add them to salads, soups, sandwiches, wraps, omelets, stir-fries, and pesto.

Just make sure you wash them well first!


Which plant has antibiotic and wound-healing properties?

People often ask about plants that have medicinal uses. Some of these include aloe vera, eucalyptus, chamomile, and lavender. If you're wondering why there aren't any plants used for cleaning and disinfecting purposes, it's because most plants have toxic qualities.

The reason why we use herbs for medicine is that they contain compounds that stimulate our immune system. This means that they help us fight infections and heal wounds.

Some plants also have anti-inflammatory properties. These include ginger, turmeric, and mint.

Herbs such as basil, fennel, marigold, and oregano are great for cleansing the body.

There are even some plants that help prevent cancer. Research shows that black raspberries may reduce the chances of developing breast cancer. The same goes for broccoli. It can help prevent colon cancer.


What are healing flowers?

Healing flowers are plants that promote peace and tranquillity. They help us unwind after a stressful day and make us feel more relaxed.

They also help us connect to our inner selves and reconnect with nature.

These beautiful blooms are used for meditation, prayer, and contemplation.

We call hundreds of varieties of flowering plants ‘healing’ because they provide such a fantastic experience.

This list includes roses, lilies, irises, daffodils, peonies, tulips, hyacinths, and many more.

But there are two species that I find particularly special. These are the Geranium and Lilium.

Geraniums are very easy to grow and come in various colors. Liliums are also known as lily-of-the-valley, which means 'lily' and 'valley.' Both of these species are popular garden flowers.

Healing flowers are often found growing near water. They are said to bring peace and calmness to those who meditate with them.

In ancient times, people would light candles in flower petals to symbolize the sun. This way, they could honor the sun without needing to go outdoors.

Some say that when you look at these flowers, you may see angels dancing.


What herb heals all wounds?

The answer to this question varies depending on the type and severity of the wound.

The herb comfrey (also known as knitbone) has long been used for its healing properties, particularly for skin injuries such as cuts and bruises.

Studies suggest that comfrey contains allantoin, which helps speed up healing. Other herbs commonly used for healing wounds include calendula, plantain, and yarrow. These herbs help to reduce inflammation, stop bleeding and speed up the skin's healing process.

In addition to herbs, honey has also been found to have powerful antimicrobial properties that can help prevent wound infection.

Herbs for wound care is an age-old practice that continues to be used today. However, herbs should not replace medical treatment, and always consult your doctor before using herbs for healing. With the right herbs, you can give your body the support it needs to heal naturally.


Statistics

  • The herbs market is highly competitive, with over 1,000 herb suppliers and over 15,000 herbs products available in the United States alone.
  • The global herbs market is expected to reach more than $125 billion by the end of 2025.

How To

How to use herbs safely?

Many people think that herbs should only be used under medical supervision because they believe that some herbs are poisonous. However, this is not true.

Many herbs have long histories of safe use. For example, garlic has been used for thousands of years to fight infections. It's also been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce high blood pressure.

However, if you're pregnant or nursing, avoid taking certain herbs. You should also avoid them if you suffer from allergies or sensitivities to herbs.

You can do several things to ensure you get the best results from your herbs and supplements. First, always read labels before consuming anything containing herbs or spices. Second, take the lowest dose recommended on the label. Third, don't use more than one supplement at any given time. Fourth, talk to your doctor about how to combine specific herbs and supplements. Finally, keep track of your consumption to know whether you need to adjust your dosage.
